Marschner - Overture: Der Templer und die Jüdin, Op. 60 (1829)

Overture: Der Templer und die Jüdin, Op. 60 (1829)

An operatic overture by German composer Heinrich Marschner (1795-1861), who played a crucial role in the development of German Romantic opera; in music historical terms, Marschner is the link between Weber and Wagner. The 1829 three-act opera "Der Templer und die Jüdin" (The Templar and the Jewess) is derived from Walter Scott's famous novel "Ivanhoe". The libretto was written by Wilhelm August Wohlbrück. It became Marschner's most successful opera in his lifetime, although today he is better remembered for "Der Vampyr" and "Hans Heiling" (if he is remembered at all...)

The version of the overture recorded here was edited by Hans Pfitzner in 1912.
